Fund Set up to Assist Victims of the Hayne House Fires

The Liberal Area Coalition for Families is accepting donations to assist families affected by the house fires in the Hayne area on Feb. 26. “Our information is that eight residences were involved affecting 11 individuals with five homes already declared a total loss,” said LACF Executive Director Sarah Foreman. The LACF is working in partnership with the Seward County Emergency Management to provide assistance to the families.

“At this time, we are only accepting monetary donations and gift cards,” said Foreman. “We are not able to accept any in-kind donations, such as clothing or household goods, at this time.”

Anyone interested in assisting can make a donation to LACF at any Equity Bank location in Liberal and the teller should be informed that it is for the Hayne House Fires. Any checks should be made to LACF with Hayne House Fires in the memo line. Checks and gift cards can also be mailed to LACF, PO Box 631, Liberal KS 67905. All donations will be given as direct assistance to the families.
